I ordered 30ml of Camel, 10ml of Dunhill and "Black Djarum Clove" juices from Heavens-Gifts this go around. Keep in mind that this is my first e-cig order ever, and that I don't have a lot of background experience, but I will try to the best of my ability to describe them.

Camel
: I don't find this to taste all that similar to Camel, but it's a valiant effort IMHO. Definitely can pick up some of the Turkish flavor in that spicy-nutty-dusty flavor. It's not bad, but a little sweeter than I'd like it to be. I slightly regret buying the full 30ml bottle, as this stuff kind of gets old to me. Still, with about another 25ml to go, it will have to hold its own.

Dunhill: If this has a flavor, it's sure as heck pretty mild. Don't get me wrong, it's very smooth, and tastes about what a smooth cigarette would taste like to me-- tobacco is there, but it's not like the Camel which hits you with some flavors you can't quite put your tongue on. It's got great vapor production though, and it's pretty pleasant for an all day vape. Kind of wish THIS was the 30ml bottle :rolleyes:

Djarum: Definitely not Djarum. More floral than clove, kind of tastes like an old lady's potpourri basket to me. It's not so much that I find it bad, as just not at all what I was expecting, although truth be told, I was warned beforehand that most e-juices don't replicate Djarums well. I think it might be better mixed with some cinnamon and licorice e-juices and will probably try that next order.

All in all, I think the Dunhill tastes the best- most like what it should taste like. I'm not so much disappointed with my purchases as sort of "oh well" about them... If more places shipped internationally to Europe, I'd probably be a bit more hesitant about ordering juices from Heavens-Gifts again... Plus, very few other retailers offer a 10ml bottle of juice for under $4-- so I can put up with it....

Darn, and I just bought Djarum from HG. Eh, $3.50 isn't much for a trial.

I can believe it that Djarum Blacks are hard to replicate...you can't put into liquid that lovely dark flavor, slight crackle and sweet paper....aw man...I gotta stop....

Are they still available in Slovakia? Just recently got outlawed here in the U.S.

Yeah Djarums are amazingly hard to replicate..has a lot to do with all ingredients that go into them.. and a lot of those ingredients a lot of juice manufacturers are steering away from because they are oil based extracts or are insoluable in water..there are a couple of recipies people have come up with as being close from what i hear posted over in the DIY juice threads

Maybe-- if you could find them, sifting through all the loads of cheap Golden Gates and L&Ms that just taste like burning paper. That was a primary reason to switch to e-cigs for me. I actually got so fed up with the lack of decent tobacco; put in a google search for "Best cigarette brands in Slovakia" and I sort of stumbled onto a Blu ad, and from there I wound up here, finding out that the Blu is overpriced and underperforming-- went with the 510, couldn't be happier.

I'm going to track down some cinnamon/ anise juice to mix in and hopefully that will help.

I could probably order them online, but I'm enjoying the thought (even if that's all it is) that my lungs are going to clear up in time.

I'm pretty sure all the juices are DK, they all have that same square label with the circle of some cheesy picture inside. They're not bad for what they're worth, but I'm hoping Dawn at DIYFlavor Shack opens up shipping out here. TW is a little pricey for me, and I don't want to vape sub-par stuff.

I have figured out that the Camel has a strange salty quality to it-- like it sort of hits your tongue/ nasal passages like breathing in salt water at the beach (it happens to other people, right?)

I'm still happy with the Dunhill vape. It might not taste 100% like Dunhills, but at least it doesn't taste completely other from cigarettes.
